Short Term Towpath Closure – Berm Lane
Advisory – MP 42.7 – Trail Closure (Short Term) — near Berm Lane Bridge in Upper Black Eddy — After a recent heavy rain storm, the canal received an amount of material from an unnamed tributary that has caused a blockage for continued flow of water, just south of the Berm Lane Bridge in Upper Black Eddy. This debris is being cleared in mid-August, along with repairs to the towpath which experienced scouring. This will not be a long term trail closure. We ask the public to turn around at the closure and to not attempt to get by it. This is for public safety purposes.
